The food philosophy at the Lime Tree is that dishes are made here from fresh, seasonal, locally sourced raw ingredients, then made into something special by our skilled innovative Chef team
'The Lime Tree Restaurant style is one we have come to know as Fiddly Posh Scottish: Lamb with a family tree, duck that went to Gordonstoun, fish that kept its nose clean. All this technically superb, and while served in a part of the country not blessed with an abundance of fine dining, nonetheless worthy of comparison with the cities best. Fort William finally has a heavy-weight culinary destination.'

My boyfriend and I came here on the recommendation of our B&B hosts and really enjoyed our experience here. The food was very good, especially the venison and the cranachan. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Good place for couples looking for a nice dinner in the area.

Fine dining in a place (a small hotel) which you do not expect. Small restaurant with friendly service. The food was good, but quite expensive. If you are looking for something better than simple Scottish food, for example for a special occasion, it is a very good choice, but If you are a tourist looking for some local experience, I...

The chef certainly has a talent for balancing and complementing flavours, and the presentation is a delight. We've been before, and will go again. Mains £20 or under, starters and desserts around £6, excellent value for this level of food, despite the relative lack of competition. (Fort William has a lot of ordinary eateries, but only two really good restaurants)....

We have never stayed here as we stay locally, but have been to eat in the restaurant on several occasions in the past couple of years. The food is always of a high standard , slightly pricey, but you can see the work and imagination that the chef puts into his dishes although they could be slightly bigger in portion...

We are locals, and booked a table here for a meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary at the end of June.
The Lime Tree has an excellent reputation locally, with the added bonus of an art gallery on site as well, if this is something you are into.
The restaurant was full the night we were there (Friday 26th June)...
